The one word, outstanding, says it all for the food and service. A quirky menu that delights with every bite. A whole host of surprise extra courses too. Friendly and professional service all around.

Breakfast was most enjoyable and despite having to be in time for the opening of...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a meal at the Lawns Restaurant and couldn't have asked for a better all round dining experience.

We'll be back again...
